Style It. Walking in an autumn wonderland?

Everyone knows about London’s winter chill, but no one ever warned
me about the autumn one. Here we are it’s barely November and the other morning I
woke up to read my phone telling me it was a frigid 0 degrees. I’m sorry what?
No wonder I had a shock when I woke from a dream about balmy
Hawaiian beaches to a very chilly bedroom.

I’m all a bit confused really. I mean I was in Milan the other weekend which is right near the alps but that was lovely sunshine and warm days
[I wished I’d packed a t-shirt]. Then on the other hand I was in Edinburgh this weekend where there was a low of 2. I speak to my mum each morning
in Australia where she is telling me what a lovely day it is and that it’s 30+
degrees. I get lulled into a false sense of security after our chats because I
step outside here and get a bit of a fright.

Exhibit A – what I wish I was wearing. Shorts by Refuge, Top
& Boots by River Island, Bangle by Marc Jacobs

Thank goodness there is a bit of a trade-off since Christmas
is on its way and the city’s decorations have started to appear. I think I can
handle the chill if it means having some snowy festive days, mulled wine, Hyde
Park’s Winter Wonderland and roast feasts.
